Spirit Softworks can develop scalable information architecture strategies for your Web sites and other digital products—particularly information products. Information architectures define the structure and labeling of online information in order to optimize its usability and findability. The development of an information architecture strategy is one of the primary conceptual modeling activities for Web sites and digital reference works.

Information architecture also comprehends the following key activities:

• content modeling and mapping—Spirit can determine the necessary scope of your Web site or product; identify its content types; appropriately decompose your content into content objects, or information chunks; and determine the hierarchical and associative relationships that exist between content objects.

• navigation design—Spirit can design the navigation for your Web site or other digital product, including the affordances, or interactive elements, that make your product’s structure visible to users, their labeling, and interactions and behaviors that support wayfinding, information-seeking, and interaction sequences that occur across multiple Web pages or screens.

Our Information Architecture Strategy and Specification includes

• a high-level content map that shows both your content’s scope and categories of content
• workflows that show interaction sequences across multiple Web pages or screens
